For red sea salt, Solubility is poor and leave residue after dissolving... As for the parameter, i have never tested for it though..

I have been using, Instant Ocean and Oceanic for top up and for new tank, i will use Coralife..

I was using ME salt by Aquacraft before but I find this salt bit strange, it tends to give milky colour water and it won't clear until 24 hours. Now using Coral Pro slat from Red Sea, I found this slat is better in term giving clear salt water after intense stirring. Parameter wise is very close, Ca is around 440 when I tested.

I will test the Mg when I do next water change for my tank.

RED SEA MAX - BLACK, JBJ ARCTICA DBA-075, HYDOR PRIME 30, VORTECH MP10

I have been using Oceanic since 2005, so far so good.

I have also used ME b4 switch to Oceanic, personnally i feel that nothing special and it's troublesome to mix the 2 liquid when preparing for water change ;) .

TM nvr used b4 so no comment.
